The "Song I can't get outta my head" thread

[auntie_em]

Got a song playing on endless loop in your head right now?

Is it making you want to twist someone’s eyeballs out?

Share it here!

It can be sort of like the “Trading Hates” thread… you leave YOUR song here for someone else, and get another song to play in your head, in exchange!

So here’s the song I’ve been battling since 7:00 this morning:

“Goo-ood Morning, Starshine…
The earth says hel-LO…
You twinkle above us…
We twinkle below…”

Annoying, aint’ it? :rolleyes:

What’s WORSE is that I have my own PRIVATE version stuck in my head. See, when I get up in the morning, I usually start singing to the dogs to get them up and out the door to pee (sickening, perhaps… but we’re not here to judge, are we?). Whatever song pops into my head when I wake up, I start belting, and usually tailor it to be dog-specific (for example, “Love and Happiness” becomes “Love and Puppiness”… still holding on to your lunch? ).

So this morning, I sang, “Good Morning Puppies…” and they loved it so much that I decided to try it on the rats.

Didn’t work so well, syllabically (is that a word), because “rats” only has one syllable, and I needed two. So I changed it to “Good Morning, Rat-Butts.”

And it is THAT version, the “Good Morning Rat-Butts” version that’s stuck in my head right now. Funny thing, though… it’s not MY voice singing it in my head, but Beverly D’Angelo’s.

I’m about to have myself committed.

Please help.

Heh. Rat-butts. I like it.

Bohemian by The Dandy Warhols has been playing in my head for a few weeks now. Vodafone, a major European cell phone operator, uses the song in a commercial that’s getting a lot of airplay. Not only do I like the song, I think the commercial is superb too.

I guess I’m not annoyed enough by it, huh?

[Palve]

“Wonderboy…what is the secret of your powers?”

Kill me now.

No. You absolutely do not count if you’re not beginning to feel homicidal because of the song stuck in your head!

Glad you like my little Rat-Butts version… This might disappoint you, but the FIRST two-syllable rat phrase that popped into my head this fine morn was “Rat Fuck”, which is also a delightful drinking game (that is amusing ONLY if you’re drinking)…

Rat-BUTTS was my SECOND choice.

Grrrrrr. Thanks to your thread title autie em, I now have “I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”, by ELO endlessly looping through my brain cells.

Argh!

Cool! I’ve finally found a trade in this thread (the other two songs listed so far, I don’t know)!

Would you like “Good Morning Rat-Butts,” or will you wait for another song?

Wanders off, singing: “Now my whole world is gone for dead…”

My brother and sister have long had a thing for bugging me by singing various Christmas carols at all times of the year! They know it bugs me to no end… just this past weekend, my sister was singing “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World” (or some such), and I couldn’t get it out of my head till the evening! Aaaarrrggghhh!!!

Good thing I don’t live with them, or they’d do this all day and night… especially annoying when you can’t get the song out of your head by listening to other music! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!

[Algernon]

Hey! It worked! You took that song right out of my head (and thanks for not mentioning that I got the title wrong, it’s really “I Can’t Get It Out Of My Head”, which is even more appropriate anyway).

But sadly, I must refuse your offer to trade “Good Morning Rat Butts”. You can keep it for yourself.

And even better. Since you connected with ELO, I’ll give you a bonus from the same era… another obnoxious song to irritate you!! This one is a golden goodie, with its whiny voiced lead singer, Eric Carmen, guaranteed to drive you bananas. Yes. I’m talking about “Go All The Way” by the Raspberries. Take it away!

Literally. Please. Take it away!! (the song should’ve been “Go Away”).

[Schnitte]

The River Kwai March. Awesome.

[beckwall]

strange, yet true -

The things we do to the people that we love (Gavin Rossdale, I could do some things to you, baby)

Hey baby hey baby HEY (Gwen - sob, Gavin’s honey - and band)

I finally succeeded in getting Wonder Boy out of my head, but now it has returned. Curse you, Palve.

Spill the wine, dig that girl,
Spill the wine, dig that girl.

Heard a commercial about a month ago that Eric Burden was playing at a local Indian casino. Even though that song was not played during the commercial, it somehow became engrained in my mind. But after being blasted by “Were an American Band” every 15 minutes while watching a stock car race this weekend, that song in now on my internal playlist. Damn you Chevrolet.

Don’t mention it. And actually, I didn’t even notice you’d inserted “you” instead of “it”. I was too busy singing.

Aw, c’mon, give it a shot; it’s really catchy…

Too late. I’m already past “Can’t Get it Outta My Head” and have moved on to “Telephone Line” (it seems ELO is the Special of the Day for me now).

Now I can’t get THAT song out of my head. :rolleyes:

This is the song that never ends, Yes it goes on and on my friends.
Somebody started singing it not knowing what it was, and now they’re singing it forever just because,

[Charlton Heston] Damn you Lambchop. DAMN YOU![/Charlton Heston]

Could be worse it could have been Skidda Markiny Dinky Doo.
BTW I hate Lambchop’s puppet too.

I was once out strolling, one very hot…
summah’s day…
…when I thought I’d lay myself down to rest…
innuh BIIIIIG… FIELD of TALLLL GRASS.

Ooops. Sorry. Sidetracked.

The thing I Love about “We’re an American Band” is the deep, complex keyboard playing. It will take years of lessons before I have that much skill.

Even though I frantically change the station if I even hear a note of this %#^@&(* song, I still have it bouncing around my brain.

Yes, pity me for I cannot get the cat-hacking-up-a-hairball-like awfullness of that new Kylie Minogue (I would put a question mark here, but I don’t care if I’ve misspelled her name) song out of my head. You know, “la la la la-la la la”…

Augggghhhh!!! I think I’ll go duk my head a cauldron of boiling oil and see if that helps.

That’s what I thought of when I saw the thread title…
“I just can’t get you out of my head, boy your love is all I think about…” I confess that I enjoy that song more than I like to admit. It’s very embarrassing.

But the one that’s been in my head all the livelong day today is “No Such Thing” by John Mayer. It’s played quite a bit on WXRT here in Chicago, and has drilled its way into my subconsciousness. It’s on a continuous loop in my brain today.

[tigergirl]

all that rat talk has looped Michael Jackson’s “Ben” into my brain…

“weeeeee’ve both found what weeee were loookkin foooorrrrr…”

also…please let me be the first Australian to officially apologise for Kylie Minogue, we’ve been stuck with her for years now it seems like it’s everyone else’s turn

Moulin Rouge - Your Song (Ewan Macgregor)

Curse you Ewan, you catchy son of a gun. I can’t get it out of my head for the life of me. And now my girlfriend is singing it!

Now that you mention it, abel, my sister also torments me endlessly with her Moulin Rouge MP3s on her computer! She’s long hd this thing for Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, etc. but now I swear it’s gotten out of hand! Example: She got the Moulin Rouge DVD the very morning it came out!!!

That, or else it’s just about anything by Celine Dion! “By the power of love…” Oh, just get the hell out of my eardrums, will you?!?

“South Side” by Moby with Gwen Stefani tends to go into loop mode everytime I hear it. I guess my hatred of No Doubt is spreading to Gwen’s guest appearances on other songs.

The best way I know to get rid a song that won’t go away: Sing Iggy Pop songs until you don’t hear the other song anymore. “Search And Destroy” and “Funtime” work very well for me, and I’ve never had an Iggy song get stuck in the infernal loop. Give it a try.
